About Me

“After working with cancer patients for years, I have come to see what a difference the right medical team can make in their lives,” says Irina Vigovskaya, a physician assistant on the radiation oncology team at City of Hope Chicago. “I want to be as helpful as possible to my patients.”

Originally from Ukraine, Vigovskaya completed a registered nurse program at Kiev Nursing College in 1990. She served as a registered nurse at Kiev Student Hospital for several years before coming to the United States. She then earned a bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2004. She went onto complete a master’s degree in medical science at St. Francis University in Loretta, Pennsylvania.

Previously, Vigovskaya served as a physician assistant at a private medical practice in Chicago. Her work included diagnosing and treating patients, prescribing medication, performing follow-up exams and counseling patients on health maintenance. After caring for many cancer patients, she decided to turn her focus to oncology. She joined City of Hope in May 2014.

Vigovskaya is certified as a physician assistant by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.

Vigovskaya is dedicated to providing Patient Empowered Care® at City of Hope. She says, “I keep my patients informed of their options, and offer guidance and support throughout their cancer journey.”

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
